Lol, I just downloaded the demo and found that there was more then couple of scenes. I just fell asleep while watching the compo and missed some scenes, haha! :) So, I should give the thumb up now.
But I still do not like the "epileptic" movements of the crab and the low contrast of the visuals.

Anyhow, like few of you already guessed - this was supposed to be originally a 64k intro. However somewhere in March we finally realized this was not going to happen. Continued as a demo project since then, but everything being still created with Werkkzeug3 and v2.

We ran slightly out of time, but well - no further excuses. There you have it.

The only scene I really liked was the music box, and I think that was really the centrepiece of the whole demo. I don't think it's enough for a thumb. The small size is appreciated but FR have done better smaller.

I suggest you look through some farbrausch demos and see that their most creative work is often the most under appreciated by the mainstream who just stop by to check out the top of the month. Anyone who "expects" a blockbuster every time has only seen a small portion of their work, the majority of which is somewhat experimental, and isn't really in a position to make negative comments.

I really enjoyed watching this...although an ending with more impact wouldn't have hurt. But graphics and music are very nice and the first scene has a very unique look and feel...almost like 2d cutouts. So here goes the thumb.

Insectecutor: For me, Farbrausch IS the mainstream of Demos, the most popular Demogroup, no matter how experimental some of their releases are. If Britney Spears plays Jazz its still Britney Spears.
And its a waste of time, because Farbrausch is only at its best when they are doing the all Popular Approach on Demos for the masses. For that stuff, no one can stop them. Its like the Stock-Aitken-Waterman of the Demoscene.

i agree with wade, and i really dig visualice's style.
The gorgeous soundtrack did the rest.
Such a beautiful, imaginative, relaxing, mysterious, magical trip again. Thank you.
Was my favourite at the compo.

the down flapping motion of the turtle was great, the up flapping motion was jarring and ruined it somewhat for me - I guess it was ruining the concept of there being any medium (water?) it's swimming through. I don't know... i'm confused with this one. The general visual complexity was great, but i strongly missed a musical track. piggy from me :)

Dunno about this one. Theres a lot of hit and a fair bit of miss.. I really liked the way the start almost looked like cutouts although it was 3d, and some of the scenes towards the end were just stunning. But other bits like the music box felt out of place and lacking in polish..
